For a user of Microsoft Office 2010 that does not use synchronization of documents on computer /
laptop on the web server, so icon in the
systray (bottom right corner) and MSOSYNC.EXE process are in plus. So you can disable
the icon ” Office Upload Center” in systray.

1. Right Click on the icon and click Settings.

2. In the window Microsoft Office Upload Center Settings untick the box next to the “Display icon in notification area” and click Ok.

2. In the System Configuration go to the Startup
tab and untick the box next to Microsoft Office 2010.

In column “Startup Item “is possible to have several processes named”
Microsoft Office 2010. To not stop any another process, go with the mouse over the column “Command”, in the line to see exactly what process is
MSOSYNC.EXE.

I am aware of what it is and what it does but my problem is that in some instances when it is running it is chewing up quite a bit of CPU and since the machine in question is a terminal server there are mutiple instances of MSOSYNC.EXE with
pretty high CPU usages which amounts to 100% total CPU usage causing the server to slow down.

Would you know why it would be hogging the CPU even when there are no active uploads or saves to the sharepoint server.

Even if I stop it showing up in the notifcation area and remove it from the startup list it will still run whenever a user saves a document to the Sharepoint server.

So I guess at the end, why would MSOSYNC be using so much CPU when none of this behavior is present on user workstations.
